Foreign funded projects and Trainings
During months of October and November of 2010, a group consisting mainly of Trepça Engineers, have attended training
within the project „Environmental Burdens Remediation Assistance “. Training was well designed in two modules: First
module was held in MIP in Kosovo, and was focused more in theoretical teaching, while second module was study trip to
the Czech Republic and demonstration of the gained theoretical knowledge by visiting Czech environmental remediation
structures.
Czech Development Agency (CZDA) has funded the abovementioned project, as a result of cooperation between Czech
Embassy in Kosovo and PAK - Trepça Unit.
Kosovo has been chosen as one of the target countries for development activities funded by CZDA. Therefore Trepça & PAK
have applied by sending project proposal to the CZDA regarding remediation of an environmental issue in Kizhnica region,
derived from Kizhnica mine operation. CZDA response regarding this issue should be known by Feb. 2011.
Another project that was initiated in 2010 is the cooperation with Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in the
field of Occupational Safety. JICA response regarding this Project is to be known very soon – first quarter of 2011.
As a conclusion, Trepça Enterprise will be a consistent and stabile enterprise, from the moment of implementation of plan
to restructure Trepça, which is approved by the Government of Kosovo. This plan shall commence implementation soon,
based on the decision of the Government of Kosovo. The strategy to restructure the Enterprise Trepça has terms and plans
how to recover the company, to be able to absorb investments from private sector, through Public Private Partnerships.
Trepça Enterprise will be capable of becoming an economically viable enterprise only after:
• Resolving all legal issues and creating sustainable legal grounds, to operate under market economy conditions;
• Being released from moratorium and claimants for Trepça;
• Enterprise will be allowed to operate with all of its assets;
• Enterprise is unified and is administered by a single Management;
• Enterprise is released from social categories (paid based on previous administrative direction through “early
retirements” and “stipends”), that present a heavy burden for Trepça.
